Features: This book addresses several key aspects such as the quality of raw materials for concrete, the mix ratios of various types of concrete, and the quality inspection of concrete during construction. It lists some common erroneous concepts, conventional practices, and operations as "taboos," explains the adverse consequences they cause as "reasons," and points out the correct methods and measures (including the implementation of codes and regulations) to eliminate these consequences as "de-taboos," ensuring the quality of concrete. For easy reference, the book is divided into eleven chapters: Ordinary Concrete, Large Volume Concrete, Compensating Shrinkage Concrete, Pumped Concrete, Ready-Mix Concrete, Winter Concrete, Shotcrete, Underwater Concrete, High-Strength Concrete, High-Performance Concrete, and Road & Bridge & Culvert Concrete. The content is detailed and practical, combining theory with practice, making it an excellent reference for engineering construction personnel. It is also suitable for architects, supervisors, and students and teachers in relevant institutions.
